An outstanding book. The title doesn't guide the reader to the actual contents. This book explains the situation and actions prior to the actual Declaration of Independence. Some families were split with their loyalties. The American Revolution was truly a civil war in some parts of the colonies and tactics ranged from threatening your supposed enemies to mob violance. A keen focus is on NY.
